Struggle getting heavier dumbbells into position for hip bridges

Here's a simple trick! 👇

Instead of trying to lift the dumbbell directly onto your hips, stand it upright on one end beside you.

Sit down next to the dumbbell and straighten the leg closest to it.

Roll onto your side and position your hips against the dumbbell.

Then simply roll back onto your back while holding the dumbbell in place.

Once you're lying down, adjust your feet and body position, and you're ready to start your hip thrusts or glute bridges.

When you're finished, reverse the process.

Straighten the leg closest to the dumbbell, roll onto your side, stand the dumbbell upright again, and safely get back to your feet.

This method can make setting up much easier and help reduce unnecessary strain on your back.

✨ Give it a try and let me know how it goes!

I forgot to buy salsa for taco's so I asked Chatgpt what I could make with chicken mince and this us what i got

🍜 Chicken Mince Noodle Bowls
Serves 4

Ingredients
500g chicken mince
250g noodles — rice noodles, egg noodles or hokkien noodles
1 tbsp olive oil or sesame oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1–2 tsp fresh grated ginger
1–2 tsp chilli flakes or 1 tbsp chilli sauce, to taste
¼ cup soy sauce
1 tbsp honey or brown sugar
1 tbsp oyster sauce (optional but delicious)
1 tsp sesame oil
3–4 cups vegetables, such as:
broccoli
carrot
capsicum
snow peas
cabbage
zucchini
Spring onions and sesame seeds to serve

👩‍🍳 Method
1. Cook the noodles
Prepare the noodles according to the packet directions. Drain and set aside.
2. Cook the chicken
Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the oil and chicken mince. Break it up with a wooden spoon and cook for about 5–7 minutes, until completely cooked through and lightly browned.
3. Add the flavour
Add the garlic, ginger and chilli. Cook for another 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
4. Make the sauce
Add:
soy sauce
honey/brown sugar
oyster sauce, if using
sesame oil
Stir everything together and let it bubble for 1–2 minutes.

5. Add your vegetables
Throw in your vegetables and stir-fry for 3–5 minutes. Keep them slightly crunchy rather than cooking them until soft.
6. Add the noodles
Add the cooked noodles to the pan and toss everything together. If it looks a little dry, add a splash of water or another tablespoon of soy sauce.

🥢 To serve
Top with:
sliced spring onion
sesame seeds
extra chilli
coriander if you have it
a squeeze of lime

I only had frozen veg and nothing from the to serve but still turned out delicious

Just a little reminder nutrition doesn't need to be complicated

One off session doesn’t ruin days, weeks, months — or even years — of training.

One off day doesn’t undo your progress. One missed workout, one meal that didn’t go to plan, or one day where you simply didn’t feel like yourself doesn’t mean you need to throw everything away.

The goal is getting into the mindset that even on the off days, the process still works.

Nothing has changed.
Your progress hasn’t disappeared.
You don’t need to start again on Monday.
You simply keep going.

Because we’re human. We’re allowed to have bad days. We’re allowed to feel flat. We’re allowed to not give 100%.

What matters is that one off day doesn’t become the reason you give up on everything you’ve worked so hard for.

Consistency doesn’t mean being perfect. It means continuing. 🤍

One session doesn’t define your journey.
The process is still working. Keep going. ✨
